Learn to Snowboard

The best place to learn to snowboard on quiet pistes with British instructors

SYNERGY SNOWSPORTS is a unique Snowboard and Ski Company offering holiday’s and camps with British instructors in Switzerland’s Davos Klosters resort. The SYNERGY team are all BASI qualified UK natives who are passionate about delivering the very best coaching experience in the world. We handle complete beginners to off-piste enthusiasts with the same focus on providing an unforgettable winter holiday in Davos.

Our 'Beginner' programme is geared towards one thing...making sure you leave wanting more! Too many first time snowboarding experiences end in disaster even when you are with an instructor! Often group sizes are too big, abilities and ages are mixed and your instructors English is questionable turning the whole experience into one you'd rather forget. We're very proud to offer our clients the very best British qualified instructors in the business and furthermore, there will never be more than 6 of you demanding his attention.

We'll help kit you out with the latest and most appropriate equipment before getting you onto some of the most beginner friendly terrain around. From teaching you the basic stance positions and showing you how to shift your weight around we'll get you sliding down the mountain in no time with minimum time spent on your bum! A small group means we can spend more time with you individually, keeping you upright and learning quickly - we regularly have people making turns on their first day!

We'll get you on the chair lifts and keep you away from the T-Bars! We'll even run you though some video footage over a hot chocolate to help you see where you are going wrong. And during all of this you’re almost guaranteed to meet other people just like you looking to pick up this great sport in the beautiful mountains. This is all part of what makes our instructional holidays so great.

Itinerary / Highlights

Every day is a highlight in Davos! With a fantastic snow record and even better sunshine record (it tends to snow at night) the mountains in the Swiss valleys look incredible. Our rough outline for the week is as follows:

Arrival day: We will meet you off the train and take you to your hotel/hostel/apartment. Once we have checked you in we'll give you a little time to settle in before we take you down to 'Top Secret' where we will kit you out with everything you need for the weeks on slope activities. That evening all of our instructors will come and meet you and the rest of that weeks groups in our favourite little bar for welcome drinks where everyone can get to know each other a little better.

Days 2-4: Each day we will meet you after breakfast either at your accommodation or at an arranged place on the mountain. Out time is then spent getting you moving! Our instruction programme is our secret but you'll soon find out what makes it too much fun!

Day 5: Usually a rest day to give your legs a little time to recuperate! We'll take you down to Eau-La-La, our famous outdoor hot tub with massage jets, bubble beds and lots more.

Day 6+7: It's back to the hill for more practise and mileage. At this stage we normally try and take some video footage to show you. It helps a lot to see the movement you are actually making rather than the ones you think you are making! At this stage of the week most people are confidently turning down the blue slopes so we'll think about getting you to higher ground perhaps on a different area of the hill - we'd like you to see as much of it as possible really!

Day7 Evening: On the last day we like to take you out to our favourite steak house in Davos - The Ochsen. You can choose from Ostrich, T-Bone, Lamb and Horse and many more and cook them to your liking on your own hot-stone. This is not a meal to be missed, a real culinary treat...we promise!

Departure day: Once you're all packed up with tears in your eyes we'll take you back to the station and see you on your way from Davos Platz to Zurich. Until next time!
